BTDT. Houston was the worst. Lots of hotels available, but street flooding meant we counld't get out of the airport. Employees couldn't go home, but they shut down stuff anyway, including the airline clubs, kicking many out to the floor. No cots, no accommodation, managed to [censored] off an entire airport full of folks who will never forget.

Thanks to the fast food joints and a few restaurants who stayed open through the entire event. Those folks earned a ton of tips.

Ear plugs are a godsend in such circumstances (although if you can sleep with ear buds/headphones that works too)

My multi-plug extension cord got a lot of use.
